OBSERVATION DOORS BY XRG

A LOOK INTO YOUR FIRED HEATER

As a result of years of field testing and collaborating with end-users, XRG developed an airtight observation door that provides a safe view inside a heater. The obs door provides engineers and operators a clear view of burners and radiant coils, allowing for detection of flame impingement and easier access for IR inspections.

With this door, you get the best of both worlds, glass or no glass. The glass also swings open for unobstructed views inside the heater.
